Istria

Istria is a historical region of Croatia in the form of a peninsula along the Adriatic Sea, bordering Slovenia to the north. Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy all own parts of the greater peninsula, stretching from the Italian city of Trieste in the north down to Medulin in the south, running through some coastal Slovenian and Croatian towns in between. Today, most of the people in the north of the peninsula are native Italian speakers, while the coastal regions have significant Italian-speaking populations.
